The Modern Philistine – by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

31 Aug 2024 Michael A

…“The essence of wisdom for the church at a time like this is to look back into her own history.” When she does this, what will she find? She will find that no revival has ever been known in history that denied the fundamentals of the Christian faith or neglected such vital truths. These truths are constantly buried by “the rubbish of the Philistines.” Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the vital truths and doctrines denied by the Philistines: the sovereignty of God, the authority of the Bible, the doctrine of sin, and the wrath of God. Revival cannot happen without the proclamation of these truths. It is with arrogance, pride, and the tendency to glorify oneself rather than God that stands between us and His mighty blessings of revival.

Why Was Jesus Baptized?: Things Unseen with Sinclair B. Ferguson

30 Aug 2024 Michael A

This post contains a 6-minute video by Pastor Sinclair Ferguson, one episode of his podcast, Things Unseen. His 5 episodes of last week were about various aspects of baptism. He was focusing on the deeper meaning of baptism which did not get into the common areas of dispute among believers. He said something in this video that I had not heard in the 20 years I’ve been a Christian, as he explained how it is that Jesus’ baptism is a picture of the gospel. In the process, he explained what the reformers meant when they called believers to ‘improve’ their baptism.

Finnish Christian MP to appear before Supreme Court over ‘hate crime’ Bible tweet

22 Aug 2024 Michael A

This post contains a brief article by The Christian Institute about a Finnish politican’s 5-year battle against charges of hate speech. If you’re a Christian or just a person who is sick of the woke culture and its attempts to silence those who do not comply with its demands, then you will find reason to be encouraged by the stance Dr Räsänen has taken for the Bible and free speech.

Franklin Graham shares the Gospel with thousands after previously being cancelled

21 Aug 2024 Michael A

I heard a video on YouTube about Graham having been cancelled in the UK and found this article when I was looking for articles on that topic. Below, you will find that Graham had been cancelled from speaking at several venues in the UK in 2020 because of his Christian beliefs on marriage and sexuality. After winning lawsuits for having been discriminated against, he was permitted to speak at the following venue. Three other articles from The Christian Institute about victories for free speech are linked to this post.

The article of this post is from Religious News Service, it is about Reverend Graham being cancelled, prohibited from completing certain scheduled stops on his religious tour. The Liberal religious group that collected over 20K signatures to cancel Graham calls themselves, “Faithful America.” They are a “Social Justice Ministry.” Social justice and biblical justice are two very different concepts….

Detailed Health Update By John MacArthur HIMSELF | August 13, 2024

19 Aug 2024 Michael A

Dr. MacArthur provided details about his operation and recovery; he also talked about some current ministry plans, even though he is too weak to presently return to the pulpit…. [I began listening to Pastor John MacArthur the year I was converted and every day for a decade and a half or so. I love this man of God as do probably millions of others. Hearing him talk about his ministry, current plans and some remarks about the past, was very moving for me. God truly has worked mightily through him.]

Franklin Graham Blasts ‘Evangelicals for Harris’

18 Aug 2024 Michael A

The article in this post was copied and pasted from American Faith. One statement in the article was from X, it noted that those evangelicals that are for Harris are apostate…. [Harris is a Marxist leftist democrat; Marxism sees the state as being ‘god’ and basically mocks the God of the Bible; so statements in the article about her affiliation with Christianity cannot be taken seriously by anyone who understands these things about her and her chosen running mate.]

Why can’t I Stop Sinning? | GotQuestions.org

9 Aug 2024 Michael A

The video of this post provides great insight into the biggest problem a Christian has, the sin problem. It is stated from the perspective of the biblical Christian, one who is working to understand scripture and to follow Christ. It provides useful insight into resting in Christ. Those words are easy to say but very difficult to comprehend in an experiential manner.
